Episode notes

In the year 1950, the world was halfway through the 20th century.

In the 25 years prior, the world had seen the greatest economic downturn in modern history and the greatest war the world had ever known.

New technologies were being developed, and many previous technologies were making their way into the hands of regular people, radically transforming their lives.

Learn more about the world in the year 1950 and the changes that occurred over the previous 25 years on the 1,950th episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
